✨ From the Editor’s Desk
Good morning,
How is your week going? Here, the air is getting chillier, and I’ve found myself craving things that feel cozy and familiar.
There is something comforting about the daily rhythm of checking in on a game. It’s a little escape - a moment to focus on letters and logic when the rest of the world feels busy. It reminds me of our "Fill in the Fable" this week, which is all about finding warmth in the winter cold.
We also have a beautiful word of the week, a fun riddle about counting , and a tip for those tricky short words. I hope you have a lovely weekend playing.

🌀 Weekly Word Wonder: "Quotidian"

🧠 Lexulous Tips
Start small, score big!
Place a short word like “an” first to secure the spot — then on your next turn, extend it into a longer word (like attaching “quotidi” in front to form “quotidian”).

The house feels quite Olympian!
🐭 Fill in the Fable
The Musical Mouse
Close your eyes. Imagine the winter world: snow covering everything, biting cold creeping in. A mouse, small and brave, finds two glowing _____(1) beneath frozen leaves. His tiny toes tap in delight—this is hope in motion. Then, he hears the faintest shiver—a _____(2), tiny and trembling. The mouse moves close, voice soft: “Let’s share this fire.” Can you feel it? That spark of warmth spreading—not just through the _____(3), but through the heart. This is how stories change us; through shared light in the darkest nights.
Moral: When kindness rhymes with warmth, everyone hums along.
